Symptoms
This game used to work fine with DX12 mode, and still does seem to work fine with Proton 7.0-1, the problem only seems to be with latest Experimental updates on Feb 18th 2022.
When using latest Experimental, it only runs for a while (20-30 minutes), and the screen will eventually freeze even though the game is technically still running. Getting out of the game and killing it is a pain as the Civ6 cursor stays stuck over everything and trying to kill everything command line only. I assume its something to do with vkd3d changes, as I used to play for many hours with no issues. I have seen this happen on a friends AMD GPU system and my nvidia GPU system, so its not GPU or driver specific. I have had to kill my system twice and risk issues due to this, so I will not reproduce it again. FYI, I know there is a Native Linux version of this game, but it runs like total trash and is almost unplayable in giant games, while it runs fantastic in Proton (until this update).
Reproduction
Just play the game for a while in DX12 mode after latest Experimental as of 02/18/2022
